Neighborhood Factor IMPROVEMENT SALE PRICE is the result of calculating the difference between the individual sale price of a property and the land value established for that property. TOTAL IMPROVEMENT SALE PRICE is the sum of all the individually calculated Improvement Sale Prices for the sales that were analyzed within the neighborhood. 3

Neighborhood Factor IMPROVEMENT VALUE is the result of subtracting the depreciated dollar amount (depreciation) from the Replacement Cost New (RCN) for the improvements involved in each individual sale. TOTAL IMPROVEMENT VALUE is the sum of all the individually calculated Improvement Values for the sales that were analyzed within the neighborhood. 4

Neighborhood Factor Now, lets walk through an example of completing a neighborhood sales grid and calculating the corresponding Neighborhood Factor for a sample neighborhood. The following slide represents 8 parcels posted to the grid: 5

10
Neighborhood Factor Example The dwelling associated with Sale #9 has a Replacement Cost New of $174,600. The depreciation percentage assigned to the dwelling by the local assessing official is 24%. What is the amount of DEPRECIATION (expressed in dollars) for Sale #9? Amount of DEPRECIATION equals: RCN$174,600 Depreciation % x 24% Dollar amount of DEPR. $41,904 or $41,900 9

13
Neighborhood Factor Example Sale #10 sold within the prescribed 14 month period for $130,000. The land value assigned to the parcel by the local assessing official is $23,000. What is the IMPROVEMENT SALE PRICE for Sale #10? IMPROVEMENT SALE PRICE equals: Sales Price$130,000 minusLand Value- $23,000 Sale #10 - IMP. SALE PRICE $107,000 12

15
Neighborhood Factor Example The dwelling associated with Sale #10 has a Replacement Cost New of $151,300. The depreciation percentage assigned to the dwelling by the local assessing official is 30%. What is the amount of DEPRECIATION (expressed in dollars) for Sale #10? Amount of DEPRECIATION equals: RCN $151,300 Depreciation % x 30% Dollar amount of DEPR. $45,390 14

18
Neighborhood Factor Example The next steps to determining the neighborhood factor are to calculate the TOTAL IMPROVEMENT SALE PRICE and the TOTAL IMPROVEMENT VALUE. Both Totals are found by summing the appropriate columns. 17

Neighborhood Factor Exercise Now it is time for you to do an exercise calculating the Neighborhood Factor. In your packet you will find pages titled, Neighborhood Factor Problem and Neighborhood Factor Grid. Locate these sheets. The information contained on the Neighborhood Factor Problem page will be utilized in completing the Grid. You will be required to calculate the dollar amount of depreciation attributable to each of the sales using the depreciation percentages provided on the Information page. 21
